Daddy! My Father will always forgive me.

Why I sinned an broke the picket fence but Daddy will always forgive myself.

So I sinned again I broke the window Daddy will always forgive me

I sinned and busted the pipes. Water is everywhere but Daddy will always forgive.

I do not have to humble myself Daddy will do it for me.

Why I am not responsible for myself. Daddy does it all by himself.

Daddy declared me a spoiled brat.

Why does Daddy call me a spoiled Brat.

He does everything I do not understand.

Oh Daddy! Oh Daddy!

Matthew 10:7-8 7 As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.

God is not a stingy miser with forgiveness. He grants it freely because He knows our frame and remembers that we are dust. (Psalm 103)

Catholic mentality is that God is a God of judgment and condemnation and is just waiting for us to make a mistake or sin and zap us. There's always the threat of hellfire and brimstone for those whose lives are not perfect (oops that's all of us). There's always the demand for going to confession and doing penance to appease Him and try to earn forgiveness for the sin we confessed in confession, shorten the time in purgatory. Nothing any person can do is good enough for God according to the Catholic church.

It's like God is up there just about fed up with us and waiting for a chance to zap us.

Perhaps it would do Catholics some good to concentrate on the fact that God is a God of mercy and forgiveness. He's looking for reasons to save us, not condemn us.

He doesn't have His finger on the heavenly zot button. No decent earthly father would disown his own child for disobedience, even when it IS willful, and how many children even sin willfully? Or rather, how many children DON'T ever sin willfully, and are not disowned by their fathers? God our heavenly Father does not either.

Sin interferes with our relationship with God, messing up the lines of communication but once we've repented and ARE saved. Sin, even willful sin, does not damn us or cause us to no longer be His children.

Perhaps you need to post your gifs to God since HE was who inspired the writer of Hebrews to say what he did. You’re wasting your time posting them to me. It is more than obvious it is those like you who robotically bow down to and obey all that your “magesterium” commands without ever stopping to ask why. Without ever searching the Scriptures to see if these things be so. The trouble with such blind obedience is that it will be you and you alone who will face God at your judgment to explain why you cast aside the grace of God to save you. Those “guys” will also have their face time with God. By the looks of things, it will not be pleasant.
